Standard Flow System Boom Flow Characteristics—Boom Flow Rate vs. Pressure

N104095-UN-10JUN13

Liquid System Performance

A - System Pressure

B - System Flow

C - Orifice Valve Closed

D - Standard Flow Plumbing—Single Flowmeter

E - High Flow Plumbing—Single Flowmeter

NOTE: Boom flow rate is not recommended under 15 L/min (4 gpm) due to system limitations.

The curves show the maximum output. They are shown with agitation off. Using agitation will reduce maximum output.

The test system was equipped with both 50 and 80 mesh pressure strainers.

* A pressure drop occurs between the pressure sensor located on boom section shut-off valves and the nozzle tip. The larger the flow rate, the larger the pressure drop.
